I thought I was going back to FF Nikon for a brief period, so I accumulated a few lenses. This one is in incredible condition, considering it was manufactured in 1981. I bought it from the original owner, and it sat in a case mostly unused for its whole life. There is only one, very minor imperfection in the coating that you can catch if you know it is there and look for it. This will have zero effect.

The lens is the raved about f3.5 version, which is about the same size as a 50mm 1.8. I don't know about you, but I use my wide angle lenses at f8 or so, since I want a wide area of focus.
